Costa Ballena Club de Golf - Rota

Named alter the whales which pass nearby, Costa Ballena is Jose-Maria Olazabal's second golf course design in Andalucia. He has provided a long layout with enormous tees and large greens. Water comes into play on a number of the holes and on the par-3 16th the green is an island virtually marooned by a lake. The club has also opened a further nine holes, making it 27 in all.
